Park 'should be out of bounds' in cruise terminal planning

The Gold Coast's Deputy Mayor says the council does not want to see Doug Jennings Park on the Spit included in a cruise ship terminal development.

Late last week, the Queensland Government called for expressions of interest for a development in the Broadwater.

Councillor Donna Gates says she believes the Government will listen to concerns about the park.

"Council made a resolution last week that included a request which urged the exclusion of that area," she said.

"It was embargoed, however, because it was our knowledge that the Deputy Premier was about to make an announcement but that is the view, the unanimous view of our council, that Doug Jennings Park should be out of bounds."
